B&W Ball Mounts/Receivers

B&W Ball Mounts & Receivers: The Tow & Stow Advantage

When it comes to ball mounts and receivers, B&W Trailer Hitches occupies a class of its own. Built in Humboldt, Kansas, from American-made steel, their ball mount lineup centers on the iconic Tow & Stow Adjustable Ball Mount — a design that has fundamentally changed how truck owners think about bumper towing. Rather than juggling a drawer full of separate ball mounts for different trailer couplers, the Tow & Stow consolidates everything into a single, elegantly engineered receiver hitch solution.

Multi-Ball Versatility in One Mount

The genius of the Tow & Stow lies in its rotating swing-arm ball assembly. Available in dual-ball and tri-ball configurations, a single mount can carry a 1-7/8", 2", and 2-5/16" ball — covering virtually every standard trailer coupler size on the market. Whether you're launching a boat, hauling a landscape trailer to a job site, or pulling farm equipment, one Tow & Stow handles it all without swapping hardware. B&W offers shank sizes to fit 2", 2.5", and 3" receivers, with Gross Towing Weight Ratings scaling from 10,000 lbs up to 21,000 lbs depending on shank size — making these mounts equally at home on light-duty pickups and heavy-duty work trucks.

Adjustable Drop for Any Ride Height

One of the most practical features of the Tow & Stow is its tool-free height adjustability. Two stainless steel pins allow the swing arm to be raised or lowered to achieve level towing, and B&W offers drop options of 3", 5", 7", and 9" to suit everything from stock-height trucks to lifted rigs running oversized tires. Once set to the right height, the swing arm locks securely in place — and when towing is done, the entire ball assembly rotates and stows neatly beneath the vehicle, eliminating the ever-present hazard of a protruding hitch.

Built to Last: Materials & Finish

B&W's commitment to durability is reflected in every layer of the Tow & Stow's construction. The mount is built from high-strength American-made steel, then treated with a two-stage corrosion barrier: an e-coat primer base followed by a UV-resistant ironclad black powder coat. The three adjustment pins are stainless steel to resist seizing. B&W also offers chrome and Browning Edition finish variants for those who want a more personalized look. These mounts are tested to meet SAE J684 standards, and the entire Tow & Stow line is backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty — a testament to B&W's confidence in their manufacturing process.

Security You Can Count On

The Tow & Stow also incorporates a thoughtful anti-theft feature: once the hitch is locked into most receiver tubes, the adjustable swing arm cannot be removed even if the stainless steel pins are pulled out. A dedicated slide pin retains the ball assembly to the shank, so the business end of your hitch stays with your truck. For complete security, pairing the Tow & Stow with a receiver hitch lock is always recommended.
